Follistim 150 units
Menopur 75 units
I posted about yesterday about the Lupron (the morning injection).
So, last night I started the nighttime injections (Follistim and Menopur)... and I have to say they're Not that Bad. Once again I didn't even feel the needle or the medications! It was super-easy!!! The Follistim Pen was pretty easy to figure out; put in the medication add the needle, twist to the amount you need, pinch, clean, insert and inject. I did find that the medication was a little harder to push in. I'm pretty sure it was the way I was standing, tonight I'm going to do it a little different so the needle doesn't get jostled around. The Menopur was super easy to mix (once I knew how much liquid to mix with the powder), the needle was a little bigger than the Lupron needle, but still easy to use.
As far as changes to my body... I can feel my ovaries (a little) and I'm slightly bloated, but I still haven't gained any weight :) Also, I can tell the medication is making it a little hard for me to sleep at night. I'm use to being able to fall asleep very easily and stay sleeping throughout the night (with the exception of a kid or two waking me up). Since I've been taking the Lupron, I have been waking up at least 5x's a night and have not been able to fall asleep again for at least 30min. Not that it's a big deal, I just take a nap with the kids during the day (if I can). Also, I've noticed things irritate me a little more than normal...which super-sucks when you have kids!
